You really wanna police what other people put in their body? How exactly does it affect you?

People should be properly informed about what they put in their bodies.

Edit: Just realised I posted in an American politics instance. Ignore the foreigner.

Sure, I can agree with that. Maybe we should start with the food industry first. Did you know there's an acceptable amount of sawdust to put in some types of food as filler? It really is horrific. Vaping at least is something people realize is probably not great for you in the long run... but people who falls for the shitty quality of food standards don't know what they are putting in their body either.

second and third-hand smoke and vaping aerosols contain harmful, toxic and cancer-causing chemicals that can be breathed in.

Then don't stand near them?

You're why enforced civility is a fucking nightmare to deal with.

'This doesn't affect you!' It does. 'Well make it don't.'

That doesn't invalidate my point. Yes, if someone is vaping somewhere inappropriate, that's not right. But if they are outside, that's really fucked that you think you get to dictate what other people do outside. It's their world too.

So you want the freedom to attack people minding their own business?
